| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Dec 11, 2008 Light to medium amber color, tall head, quite bubbly.

Not really so interesting, but not bad either.

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Nov 21, 2008 Pours a (surprise) amber colors with minimal head and retention.
Smell is of malt and very little else.
Taste is very one-dimensional. That being said, the malty taste that this brew lends itself to is pleasant and makes it very drinkable. This does not taste like an amber, however. There is no hop character whatsoever. It actually tastes very much like their honey brown.
Again, it would be very easy to put a few of these down, though I don’t really see myself buying any more of these if there is something else around.

A doughy malt aroma. Standard ’mass’ amber lager flavour, sweetish malt and slightly metallic, with a thin mouthfeel. Unoffensive, would be popular with kiwi blokes who like their Lion Red, etc. yalnikim (782), Wellington, New Zealand
